by about 100 spectators at So a head. 1t
was Goss' first appearance ina ring but
throughout the fight he displayed uncom-
mon science. Nelson has had some pro-
fessional experience, having defeated
Houlihan in Hartford, not long ago. Goss
tipped the scales at 1853 and Nelson Mt 146

Time was kept for Goss by Gus Ellis of

The fighting was scientific throughout,
and the hitting of both men was heavy,
though not very effective. Two-ounce
gloves were used. In the second, fourth,
eighth and twelfth rounds Nelson dealt
his opponent foul blows, which the
referee did not allow, simply %cautioning
Nelson against a repetition. In the six
tenth and last round Nelson again
struck Goss foully, and Referee Ashton
awarded the fight to Goss. Neither man
received very serious punishment.
